Fox Scabs

From mediabistro......Fox News is using double decker buses to bus New Yorkers......

This morning, on the second day of the MTA strike in NYC, Fox News deployed two double decker "FOX & Friends" buses to help New Yorkers get uptown."They are bringing in commuters to midtown Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge," an e-mailer said this morning. "Hot coffee is being served as well." The bus made some stops along the way up 6th Ave. and eventually reached FNC HQ.
